Q: What can you tell me about teaching and life in Zhejiang Province? Dalian? Shanghai?

I'm thinking of coming to China to teach and I need help deciding on where would be best to go. I am being recruited by a school in Shangyu city, Zhejiang Province. However, I am also considering Dalian and Shanghai. Please tell me about your experiences here?

I lived and taught in a private school in Dalian last year. I would totally recommend it, it was a great city to live in, good food, nice people.. This year im in Zhejiang, between hangzhou and shangyu, and although it is not a bad place and I enjoy my job, I liked Dalian much more...no idea about life in Shanghai though.
Good luck!

I like Zhejiang more than other places in China I've been to and my company has had me in three different cities so far, but do you have any specific questions? There's a world of difference between even South and North Hangzhou, not to mention the whole province

I lived in Dalian for about a year and a half. It was a great city to live in. But the main problem for me was the winter. It gets really cold & windy for about 4 months out of the year.

Q: Struggling to find jobs as a light skinned American with an STEM background.

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have been from a reputable college. If it came from a degree mill that definitely would be a problem. You should not worry about how they will contact this place. If the degree is considered authentic the people will know where to go to inquire. In my case I needed a copy of my diploma and one company in China recommended a Clearinghouse that was able to verify my degrees. They did not provide copies of the diploma, though. If the place where you received this degree is acceptable in your country then, it should be acceptable in China.Another point to consider you stated it was an MS degree. I have not aware of any programs that allow students to hop from a high school education to a Masters degree level education. With that said maybe you received a Bachelors degree. If that is the case submit that information. I would not encourage you to lie. In that you definitely will not have any paper trail to back up your story. Some companies do not accept TEFL online especially if it came from International Open Academy. That place is a one room office. I would consider that a TEFL mill. It was such a waste of time.Do you have the ability to do searches online? -- slspringer22
